Measures Already AfOOt 10 Detect the
Author Of the Alleged Parnell Letter.
LONDON, April 1s.-The alleged letter OF Mr.. Par
NELL supposed to have been addressed to Mr.. Egan,
relative to the PhGaix Park MURDERS whchsh he
Times published onss morning, has caused i'm
mense excitement ameng all parties In an inter-
view to-day Mr.. Clancy, Parnellite member for
Dublin County, branded the letter as an infamous
evidence OF forgery. He said, alSo tnat suspicion
was already directed against certain person as
the fOrger.
An irish meu,;,er OF parliament departed for
Dublin this morning TO compare the handwriting
In the letter attributed TO Mr. Parnen With that OF
the person suspected.
NEWSPAPER COMMENTS on THR NATTER
The Globe commenting on the letter, says:
"Until the horrible accusation that Mr.. Parnell
wrote the letter is proved we shall discredit it,"
The Pal Mall Gazette says: 'Until the auJhen-
tcty OF the letter shall be absolutely proved there
will be no need to discuss its contents.''
h It Say1 W not de o rs
as genuine until Mr. Parnell shall be heard from
concerning it,"
INTERNAL PROOFS OF CLUMSY FRAUD.
The ParnelliteS all declare the letter an fnfa-
nous cOncOction, and deliberate invention to
publicly SANDER the leader OF the Home Rule party
They say that even on the low ground OF expedi-
ency Mr.. Parnell would be the last man In the
world to write a letter containing such damning
admissions. They contend therefore, that all the
reason ia the proves the letter to be forgery
on the face OF it, pointing for proof TO the contents
OF the document, especially the writer's warning
the person to whom the letter purported ITO be
written not to disclose tie address, while no ad-
dress is given. The fact that the signature is the
only part OF the letter in Mr. Parnell's writing is
by itself, the Home Rulers argue, proof that the
whole thing is fraud, as, according TO them While
II would be difficult to obtain enough specimens OF
Mr. ParneIlS handwriting TO enable forger to
initiate tt, the extent necessary TO successfully
palm of whole letter his it is not at all diff
cult to obtain his signature.
Mr.. PARNEIL,s COMING DENIAL
Mr.. Parnell the agent OF the Associated Press is

NAL in the House OF Commons. The editor OF the
